LONDON: A national memorial to Britain´s Queen Elizabeth II will be located in London´s St James´s Park, which holds “historical and constitutional significance and personal connection” to the late monarch, the UK government said Saturday.
The site is close to the ceremonial route of The Mall and to the Buckingham Palace home of her son King Charles III. It is also near statues of her parents King George VI and Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. “The memorial is intended to provide not only a fitting monument but also a space for contemplation and community, and will be of an appropriate scale and ambition to match the impact of Queen Elizabeth II on national life, The Commonwealth and indeed the rest of the world,” said the government. There will be other memorial projects in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.
